Default brake lights wont come on?

Ok so i just got my car back on the road yesterday. over the winter I rebuilt the rear end to be unbreakable, I changed the car from 4lug to 5lug and also put rear disk brakes on from wilwood. Last night I went cruising (first time when it was dark) and I did not see my brake lights come on. I dont know why but my turn signals work as well as my marker lights. So I have tail lights and turn signals but no brake lights. what could be causing this?

Check for power at the brake light switch. There should be power to on side of the plug. Depress the brake pedal, and there should be power on both sides now. If there is not, you need a new switch. Then just to be sure the lights work correctly, unplug the switch and jump the two sides together and the lights should come on.
